By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
